It wasn't until I learned the breathing techniques taught for meditation that I found I'd spent most of my life not doing it properly. Your singing lesson provides exactly the same advice and hopefully much the same result.

Hi Zee, Good to see you again- yes the breathing is to help those who have never previously been involved formally in singing to get started-I am tutoring at the University of the 3rd Age Susan – Already a more healthy feeling – or improved wellbeing is being confirmed!! Best wishes

you're obviously keeping very busy in your 'retirement' :0) this is very interesting; i've never thought much about breathing when i sing --- i've just always sung. mum used to say i was singing before i could walk or talk. .... there's always something new to be learned....

I'll add this in there, though I was thinking of writing a post of my own as something of a companion piece.

If you find the lowest note that you can sing in falsetto voice, and sing scales slowly with that as the low note, rising one note each repetition, this will give a quite noticeable degree of control over the normal voice.And take a sip of water plenty and often while doing it.
